They both together brought the statue out of the jeep and for each and every movement of theirs, Lily screamed making them to pause on their steps as she is worried of not hurting the statue. They brought it and placed it inside her room.Though she opposed that, they placed it inside for her to get scared in the night as a punishment. Since they both know how much a scaredy cat she is for darkness and a statue in a dark will be more fun to tease her.“Now tell me, why did you go all the way at night to bring this statue” Steve asked curiously. Lily who was checking the statue for any scratches turned at Steve.“Ahh.. I.. I.. I felt if this statue was not destroyed as per Robert’s instruction, you will land in trouble and so I decided to rescue this statue” she said nervously and the voice echoed in her head with a scoff.“So, you went and risked yourself? Seriously? did you think I will buy this?” He asked narrowing his eyes at her with his hands on the pocket. She smiled sheepishly
She looked at him with her eyes wide open and with annoyance she hit his shoulder and groaned in pain,“ouch.. ouch..” she wrung her hands in air to relieve her pain.‘Oh, dear lady, have you gone mad to hit a statue?’ he said in a worried tone, hearing that she looked at him and gave a beautiful smile, His heart melted seeing that.‘Be careful my knight, in shining see-through dress’ he said again playfully and she gasped trying to cover herself. After a few seconds she realised he is just messing with her and she is not wearing any see-through dress, turning to him she glared at him. He just giggled seeing her anger which he felt was cute and wanted to see more.She went to the restroom to finish her morning routine, when she was wiping her face with a towel she stopped on tracks and looked at her birthmark behind her ear.She was surprised to see the birthmark which was usually in black looked different with the shade of red. She was always fascinated by her birthmark which was unu
Chapter 11 Flashback… At the palace, After knocking and waited for several minutes the old lady walked inside the royal bedroom where queen Esther was getting ready for her hunt. “Your majesty, the king ordered me to bring you, your energy drink for your day to start” “Oh, was it already time for my drink?” The queen adjusting her clothes over her hidden armour asked the maid. She gestured for the maid to come near her and the old lady with her trembling foot walked closer to her. The queen saw the juice in the tray and took it from the old maid. She starred at the juice for some time, and looked at the maid whose hand was tightening on the tray. Queen’s mind wavered for a minute but she shrugged it off the feeling that indicated her of something amiss. Taking another glance at the juice, she drank it fully and placed the tray with a frown on her face. “Mira, today’s drink is different from the previous one.” She said and the old lady gave her a confused look. “Never mind, yo
Chapter 12 The head warrior remembered the potion made by the queen and he quickly checked his bag and found it, taking the potion he ran near the door. Closing his eyes and focusing, he recited the spell his queen taught him and he break opened the bottle and poured it in his hands to blew them. The door was opened immediately and all the warriors headed inside to see the prince and the witch were having a serious fight, seeing his warriors enter the place, prince smirked at the evil witch to let her know she is going to be defeated. But suddenly there was a smoke in violet colour surrounded them and everyone started coughing and the evil witch let out her evil laugh and the warriors and the prince’s steps are faltered. The smoke dispersed but the people were frozen on the spot, prince tried to break her spell and almost succeeded. But he felt something hit his head and when he tried to check that, his body starting from his foot felt numb causing him not to move and, in a blink
Chapter 13 The prince knowing what she must be thinking with a heavy heart replied to her, ‘I actually don’t know why.. umm.. I already... *ahem* found my soulmate long back’ he said and her face fell, she quickly gulped down her saliva and released the hug, putting on a fake smile she looked at him. Though he is now a statue and unable to feel the touch, he felt sad that she broke her embrace. He cursed himself for letting her know that he has a soulmate. Somewhere deep inside his heart, he expects her to embrace him despite all the reasons. “Wow, that’s great. She can hear you right, well did she see you in this condition. She must be heartbroken. Umm.. umm.. is she pretty” she said, though she tried to cover up her disappointment, which was clearly seen by him. And even he felt like his heart is torn a little, which he felt odd. ‘Yes, she is pretty, and no she didn’t see me’ he said and thought about that day. Weirdly he felt a negative feeling from that. Though he said that to
Chapter 14 He shook her again and again but she seems gone into a deep sleep. With teary eyes he took her in his arms, got up from the floor and laid her on the bed. He then with his left hand holding her hand and right hand placed above her chest, he closed his eyes and recited some spells. When he finished reciting it, he felt unusual feeling and he immediately opened his eyes and saw nothing happened. He then again closed his eyes and started chanting the spells again and no results were met. He repeated that numerous times and fell on the floor dejectedly. “no, no, no. Why are my powers not workin? Why? Lily stay, stay with me please. Don’t leave me, nothing should happen to you, stay alive Lily. I’ll find help..” his words were cut off when suddenly a white smoke arose from the floor. He turned to see and from the smoke a figure hurried out near him. “your highness....” “Crysta... Come here, do something. She shouldn’t die, help me Crysta, pleaseee...” saying he cried, Cry
Chapter 15 “Yes Eric, what’s the matter?” The king asked once they reached the place. “Dad, other than you, Lily was able to hear me when I was cursed as a statue” he said and the Kings eyes widened in disbelief. “How is that possible? I thought only the blood related and soulmate can hear you” the king asked in disbelief. “Yes, even I thought so, but strangely she heard me and her blood not only lifted the curse but also burnt those figures that tried to get rid of me” he said thinking how the blood of Lily fell on his sword, when touched those figures it burnt and turned them into ashes immediately. The king astonished to hear that, Eric quickly informed the things that happened so far and the secret to be kept about his lost powers. “But I don’t get it why you lost your powers?” the king asked with confusion and with a sigh the prince shook his head negatively and how confused he is too. “Well, are you sure to keep this away from Crysta? She can help us, you know?” he said an
Chapter 16 “why? Your questions are like, it shouldn’t have happened?” he asked and she looked back at him with wide eyes, she was shocked that he heard her. “What are you saying? You are my love and how will I wish for such things that will break my heart and my life” she said spilling some tears and sniffing her nose. Eric watched all her reactions and gently patted her back. “Since her life was at risk because of me, I will take care of her till she recovers. So, I want you to be in your sane mind and support me” he said taking a breath and she nodded her head. “Well… then, I will shift to your room and take care of her along with you” she said hurriedly and Eric shook his head in a no, which made her frown. “You don’t have to do that. Since we are not engaged or married as of now, I guess it’s not quite right” he said with an annoyance that suddenly filled his heart. Somehow in his heart deep inside he felt hatred f
Chapter 86The wedding bells chimed merrily as Eric and Lily prepared to exchange vows in a ceremony fit for a fairy tale.As Lily walked down the aisle, she was accompanied by Steve and her brothers, Theo, and Shane.They couldn't resist cracking jokes and making faces to ease her nerves. Lily couldn't help but laugh, feeling grateful for their support.As Eric stood at the altar, his heart swelled with love and anticipation. When Lily finally reached him, he couldn't tear his eyes away from her radiant smile. "You look stunning, my love," he whispered, causing Lily to blush.With a twinkle in his eye, the officiant began the ceremony, and amidst the solemn vows and heartfelt promises, Eric couldn't resist sneaking a playful wink at Lily, earning a giggle from his bride.After exchanging rings and sealing their love with a kiss, Eric turned to his father, the king, and made a solemn promise."Father, I vow to take up the reign in two years' time, once Lily and I have had a chance to
Chapter 85“so, tell me. How did my naughty brother suddenly got his wings and where did he disappear after locking Draco in a pendant?” Lily asked with full amusement interlocking her hands with Eric.“so one day, I was sleeping on my bed and suddenly heard someone calling me and I opened my eyes and saw myself floating in the air in a dark place. You don’t believe me I could see all the planets. It was so big and our earth looked so cute. It looked like..”“OH, c’mon Shane, tell me what happened to you? ok so you seemed to be pulled into the space, next what? I don’t want the details about how planets looked” Lily said with annoyance building.Shane chuckled at his over excited sister,“ok, ok. So, I looked around and I heard someone calling me, the voice was majestic and authority filled. It asked me‘Shane, dude, wanna upgrade to angel status? Wings, halos, and whole lot of fun’ it was kind of tempting for me, so I asked‘sure, but do I still get to text during celestial meetings?
Chapter 84Eric held her waist and threw her on the air as she unleashed her hidden powers, the radiant light of her angelic heritage illuminating in that dark forest.A pair of wings formed at her back making her not to fall on the ground as she charged at the person in front of him, her hands with enormous power filled sword stabbed the heart of Draco.Caught off-guard, Draco staggered backward his eyes widening in disbelief. But before he could react, Lily screwed the sword deep inside his heart.Eric rushed to her side and held her trembling hand. Her eyes spilled some tears, sense of disappointment and betrayal filled tears spilled from Lily.Crysta felt the pain in the heart as she saw the man once she loved the most defeated by his own blood.Draco, looked at the girl in front of him and for once it projected the true proudness in his face. His body started to get ignited by the fire.Shane flew by his sister’s side and he brought a pendant out of his pocket and kept it down as
Chapter 83Crysta was not able to digest what she heard and was left in heart break from the revelations. Steve walked to her side and held her small figure.She looked weaker and more aged from what she heard. He felt sorry for the person. While Draco glared at him.“You have always stepped into my plan disrupting it. I can sense you are weak, I don’t know why and how. But that is none of my concern. But for the old times sake, I warn you to stay away, so you will not suffer.Let that snake, my wife and daughter to go with me.” he threatened Steve and looked at Eric.“while you people were busy fighting among yourselves, my army has surrounded you. if you want your men safe and sound, send Adina, Crysta and that snake to me” he spoke and everyone looked around and was stunned to see them surrounded by those creatures.“Adina, my child come to your daddy. I assure not to kill you, I can see how beautifully and powerfully you have grown. Daddy will not let it go waste. I assure you the
Chapter 82“Draco’s daughter?” Lily spoke with her eyes squinting in confusion looking at Steve and trembling Melinda.“yes dear, she is the daughter of Draco” he spoke and saw Melinda gripping Steve’s arms in fear. Melinda looked back at Lily with fear and guilt."Are you Draco's daughter?" she asked saw Melinda nod her head with a gulp. Lily clenched her teeth with anger exuding.“Lily, please calm down” Eric spoke making Lily to look at him with judging eyes.“so, you know that earlier and thought you could hide it away from me?” she spoke with certainty making him to sigh.“It is not simple as that to tell you, I thought of telling you..”“when? When we were killed by Draco?” she asked angrily.“Adina, dear. Please help me and your brother. And please stay away from that snake, she is a deceiver, she will kill us all along with her father” he cried making Lily to look at him with a loss of words.“Adina, No. I will not do that, to be exact, I am here to help you deal with that per
Chapter 81After taking a deep breath, they walked into the chamber and found the sacred book flying in the air with a glow. Lily hugged Eric in happiness as he embraced her proudly.Lily stepped forward with Eric, and the book as if it’s a living being it sensed the presence of someone it waited for long time.It directly flew near Lily and fall on her hands. She looked at the book with overwhelming happiness. The book and she started glowing, Eric who was holding her felt the heat.His body felt something odd in himself, as if he was given some healthy dosages. Suddenly they were lifted off the ground with an aura surrounding themselves.They both closed their eyes, The birthmark behind Lily's ear began to glow like gold. Even Eric's birthmark began to glow on his back.After few minutes their foot touched the ground. They opened their eyes and looked at each other feeling the serenity and huge power inside them.Holding the book, they walked back to where their people were waiting.
Chapter 80As the queen had works to be done regarding the death of Demona, she hurried back to the palace leaving the others to start their hunt for the sacred book.Lily, Eric, Crysta, Melinda and Zion and all the warriors stood with their mouths hung open looking at the mountain and the waterfalls.While Steve was on his alert mode as his senses heightened and his mind indicated something is going to happen.Throwing the rope on the branch of a tree near the waterfalls of the mountain, they started climbing one by one.Steve even tried to spread his wings to fly to the top, but he felt weak and wasn’t able to spread his wings.Melinda looked at him with worries knowing his inner struggle of losing his powers. She squeezed his hands,“I am alright. Just let’s climb” he said looking into her worried eyes.“I.. I am sorry. If you want you can reject me” she said gulping her spit down her throat. He flicked her forehead,“I have told you many times that I am not going to do that. Being
Chapter 79Sitting around the campfire and closing her eyes Melinda placed her head on the chest of Steve. She doesn’t want to think about the death of the woman who birthed her.But the thought, even on the verge of death, Demona’s selfish desire for power overshadowed any mother love.Not once did she show affection, leaving a profound sadness and weakness in Melinda’s heart, realizing she was never truly loved.Steve embraced her and figuring she needed him by her side. He rubbed her back soothingly, the ritual already drank her energy and the death of that woman exhausted her mind and body.Now that Eric knows why Lily is called queen by the tribes put a proud smile on his face, he caressed her head lovingly and proudly for his brave queen.But Lily was squinting her eyes looking at the two people in front of her. Although her mind said it could be out of pity. Steve is pampering her but the eyes he is having towards Melinda made her to doubt.Slapping Eric’s hands, she looked bac
Chapter 78 “Demonaaaa” she shouted with vengeance filled, the evil witch stopped on her fight turning back and saw half human and half snake form of Lily and trembled suddenly. But she didn’t let it out, she is late… she is too late. ‘So, the ritual they had was her to gain powers? And who was that purple snake’ She thought to herself and was suddenly got scared. Nothing scared her entire life, but Lily’s current state is scaring her. Melinda seeing Lily’s appearance, she slithered near her and transformed into her hybrid form too. Upon seeing her transformation, Demona’s eyes widened in disbelief. The one she thought had no powers was majestically standing before her with half human and half snake body. They both slithered fast to Demona’s side, Lily grabbed Demona’s throat single handedly and lifted her above the ground surface. She noticed the same black beaded bracelet on her hands and chuckled evilly. She grabbed the bracelet and threw it at the ground. It smashed
